    The AFTAC II is GE Transportation's second generation FM audio overlay train detection system that can be configured as a single transmitter, single receiver, one of each, or two receivers using the same enclosure. It has increased noise immunity and channel selectivity compared to the original AFTAC. It operates on 23 channels between 500Hz-10.2kHz with 12 standard subtones for train detection and is backward compatible with original AFTAC equipment.

    This versatile, compact system can be configured four ways,
    using the same enclosure: single transmitter, single receiver,
    one transmitter and one receiver, or two receivers. Module
    requirements have been reduced: two for receiver and one for a
    single transmitter. Either receiver or transmitter can be operated
    over line with proper coupling. No insulated joints are required.
    Power output is flexibly controlled via a three-position power
    level switch and a power range jumper with six power settings.
    Low power (maximum transmitter output of 0.5 VAC) is for short
    distances up to 2,500 feet depending on frequency and ballast
    conditions. Medium power (maximum transmitter output of
    3.18 VAC) is designed for distances up to 4,500 feet.
    The AFTAC (Audio Frequency Train Activated Circuit) II is the
    second generation of FM audio overlay train detection systems
    from GE - Transportation. It may be applied with systems that
    control crossing warning devices at a highway/railroad grade
    crossing and in train control systems where overlay train
    detection is needed.
    With increased noise immunity and improved selectivity
    between channels, the AFTAC II is particularly advantageous
    in locations where the channel spectrum is heavily saturated.
    This system is fully backward compatible with original FM
    AFTAC equipment.
